Some Complaints

Slice of LIfe
This slice is part of  the 17th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge on  Two Writing Teachers! #sol24 I’m slicing every day this month, for the 11th year! Wahoo!!! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

I am exhausted…

There’s a glass stuck in my garbage disposal
but MacGyver doesn’t live here, and I
have other things to do
like figure out my future, and I
don’t have time to worry about
the themes that I see here, and I
hope that somehow, sleep
will makes things clearer!

  1. What I love most about your slice today is what it reveals about poetry and all it does for us. I’m sorry about the glass stuck in the garbage disposal, and even though McGyver doesn’t live in your house, he—or some version of him—lives on YouTube where you’ll find a solution for the stuck glass. Good luck.

  2. “but MacGyver doesn’t live here, and I
    have other things to do”

    I appreciate these lines as they capture the tension between the need to get something done without the necessary wherewithal to deal with it in the moment. May clarity prevail and the stuck glass situation find resolution in the near term.
